Looking for some Tips from a t-55,62 etc etc builder regarding the MIG after market "fuel line" they added to a kit. Resin parts are hollowed out at this point.

Thank You

Hi john

To be honest i didn't use it, but in my humble opinion, although they look fine, they are slightly wrong





As you can see on the pics in the mig set pipes pass UNDER the fender support

Actually the pipes pass OVER it

Anyway, looks like a nice set. If you'll use it in my opinion you can safe a lot of time and a lot of...
When i reproduced the pipe lines with common wires on my T55 i went crazy...

I hope this can help you

Cheers

Good reference photo, I did cut back the fender support "slightly", to put the lines behind. The main reason I ask the question was to see if any one had the experience with the resin Line connectors. i think I 'll slide them on and tape'em for hold, prior to the Bending process.

Thanks for your reply.
